Sign up and play for free via Steam and Wargaming Game Center

April 2nd, 2025 – The wait is over. Steel Hunters, Wargaming’s free-to-play mech hero shooter, has officially entered Early Access. Combining Battle Royale and Extraction mechanics, the game delivers an intense mech power fantasy where players control formidable mechanical giants – Hunters. Starting today, players worldwide can dive into intense duo PvPvE battles, complete match objectives to level up, acquire powerful gear, and dominate the battlefield. 

As Steel Hunters enters Early Access, the development team will focus on gathering player feedback, fine-tuning gameplay mechanics, and enhancing overall polish. This phase is crucial for refining the experience, balancing combat, and ensuring the game reaches its full potential before the official launch. In addition to performance and stability improvements, the team will introduce new content and features, shaping the game with direct input from the community.

“We’re incredibly excited to bring Steel Hunters to our players today,” said Mike McDonald, Product Director. “This phase is all about working alongside our community, refining the game, and ensuring its long-term success. Guided by player-first philosophy, we’re starting the first season of Steel Hunters Early Access without monetization, allowing all players to fully immerse themselves in the core gameplay experience.”

  • Dynamic Battlegrounds: Jump into action across three maps featuring destructible environments — Crimson Ridge, Maryland Heights, and Stonecutter Keep.
  • Game mode & Progression: The Last Stand mode has been added instead of Starfall Harvest as the main game mode, and a completely revamped System Tree replaces the old four-path progression — now streamlined into a single, powerful skill tree with progressive upgrades.
  • No progress reset: As of April 2, game servers will remain permanently live, meaning no more progress wipes. Players will retain all in-game items and progress they have earned from Early Access and previous tests, giving them a head start with the full game launch.

Watch new trailer for farming sim meets tower defense adventure The Rabbit Haul

Earth Appreciation Festival Dev Diary details day/night cycle of gardening and guarding your crops

Edmonton, Canada, April 1st, 2025 – Caldera Interactive has unveiled the all new story trailer for its upcoming cozy farming sim / tower defense hybrid The Rabbit Haul, as part of Earth Appreciation Festival 2025, running from April 1st to April 8th on Steam. This highlights games that focus on ecological themes, where nature shapes the gameplay and storytelling in a way that highlights its harmony – or offers a look at the world we’ll inhabit if we don’t treat it with respect.

Coming to PC and Switch in 2026, The Rabbit Haul places players in the role of a cute cottontail trying to rebuild their hometown after it’s been ravaged by greedy raccoon gang, the Trash Panda Posse. During the day, you must tend to your crops, replenish your food reserves and economy, water your farm, add harvested produce to your haul, and grow defensive tower plants that will help thwart off invaders. Be strategic in your placement, as an ideal garden will make use of synergies created between harmonious plants. 

When you choose to switch over into nighttime, you must defend your haul against the assailing Trash Panda Posse. They’ll grow stronger with each wave, with different enemy types attempting to spoil your riches, so you must upgrade your weapons and defenses to ensure you can survive the night!

No two playthroughs are ever the same, as The Rabbit Haul features a sprawling, randomly generated world full of quests and treasures. Explore the overworld to discover unique items and allies that will help rebuild your town and reinforce your defenses even further. Between runs, you can upgrade your towers, unlock new merchants, and prepare yourself for your next adventure. With an array of unique weapons, upgrade paths, powerful towers and crops to unlock, The Rabbit Haul offers countless playstyles to master!

In addition to the story trailer, Caldera Interactive also put together this 60-second Dev Diary offering an introduction to The Rabbit Haul’s gameplay loop. Take a peak at The Rabbit Haul’s structure and sign up for its alpha playtest this summer on Discord!

“With the escalation of climate change in recent years, we wanted to make a game that celebrates thriving ecosystems based on biodiversity,” said Mickael Zerihoun, Co-Founder at Caldera Interactive. “It’s important to find balance in nature, which is what The Rabbit Haul is all about. You need to grow crops, as well as defend them, creating a sustainable habitat for all harekind!”
